Sunless Tanning Lotions: Tanning Without The Risk

Beauty | September 22nd, 2009 1 Comment

A sun tan is one of the best ways to improve your looks. However it’s got a certain amount of health hazards. And you’ve got to spend hours lying in the sun doing nothing. It is for this reason that folk like alternative tanning products, especially self tanning sun lotions. If used correctly, these self tanning products can deliver surprising results, without any unwanted side effects.

Sunless tanning lotion works by temporarily dying your skin. The active ingredient stains your skin a shade of tan depending on your base color and the type of formula you use. Most sunless tanning lotions will deepen your tan with multiple applications, so applying layers is a good idea to find that perfect shade of bronze. They also wear off in about three to five days, so reapplication is required to maintain that glow. Sunless tanning lotion works particularly well for people with fairer complexions, allowing them to achieve a darker tan than they would through sun exposure.

Tanning salons also provide support for sunless lotions, at an artificial tanning salon you can find experts who have extensive experience in applying various kinds of lotions at different thicknesses, and have worked with many different skin tones. Weather you decide to do it yourself or have a professional handle the job, the important thing is that it is a safe alternative to normal tanning.

Do not take a shower, take a bath or use water just after you applied the sunless tanning lotion. This will prevent irregular streaking. 

Don’t forget to use gloves when applying the lotion, unless you want to have orange hands for the next week or so. 

Sunless tanning lotion is a great product and a fantastic alternative to the sun’s harmful rays. Not only can you mimic a natural tan more effectively than ever, but you can ensure that your skin will look healthy, young and refreshed as you mature over time

To get the best application from a sunless tanning lotion, make sure to clean and exfoliate areas where the lotion will be applied first. Apply the lotion in a circular motion, instead of a back-and-forth or brush-like motion. It’s often necessary to wait for at least fifteen minutes after application of the lotion, as it can stain or rub off. Lighter application is recommended for areas like knees, elbows, and ankles. It’s always a good idea to patch test the product before use. Finally, be aware that some lotions can make some wearers look orange, rather than golden tan.

Women who are pregnant or nursing should consult with their doctor before using any type of sunless tanning lotion to be sure that it is safe to use. So if you need a tan in a hurry getting a sunless tan is quick, easy and inexpensive. You’ll have a perfect tan without the headache of the wait or the added expense of visiting a salon.

Sunless tans last for as long as a week and then need to be reapply. Most of the best sunless tanning lotions on the market today are available at your local drug store for less than $25 per bottle. You can have that great tan tonight if you want! The choice is yours and with the right sunless tanning lotion, there’s no headache or hassle, just a great tan that makes you look good every time.
